Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite in Fortnite — Release and Ability

What the Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite Does

Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. is a Legendary Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters, the season that began on Sunday, November 1, 2026 with update v43.00 on Crossbones Isle. Its ability, as listed in the Sprite directory, ties into healing: it generates a Chug Splash effect when you restore shields, and its cooldown decreases with each level. In other words, topping up your shields can also produce a splash, and a higher-level Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. can do it more often.

Epic has not published the cooldown length at any level, how much the splash restores, or whether it reaches teammates, so this guide does not claim those details. The wording is the directory’s, not a quote from Epic’s patch notes.

When Is Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Released?

Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. was not obtainable when Treasure Hunters launched. All three of its forms are in the v43.00 game files with finished art, but none was released at the start of the season. Epic’s weekly schedule lists “Lil Uzi arrives (November 7)” for week two, with Lil Uzi and Cuddle Team Leader claiming a fort and “new weapons, strange new Sprites.” Epic does not name Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. in that line, so the Sprite is expected around then, not confirmed.

Lil’ Flacko, the other Legendary named for a guest artist’s crew, drops from the A$AP Rocky Boss on Captain’s Day, but nothing published says Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. will work the same way or how it will be obtained. No spawn location and no drop rate have been announced; the directory’s 0% rates mean unpublished. When it lands, buried Sprite Chests from Wanted Posters and Mastery Monday’s 2x Sprite XP and Sprite Dust are general Treasure Hunters routes for collecting and leveling, not confirmed sources for this Sprite.

Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Variants: Normal, Fortune and Cursed

The files contain three forms: Normal, Fortune and Cursed. Fortune, which the game’s icon files and datamines call “Jeweled,” keeps the base ability and adds Epic’s Fortune bonus: “Reveals nearby Chests.” Unlike the other three-form Sprites, Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr.’s Fortune form was not live at launch.

Cursed variants arrive November 7 per Epic: “Increases your chance of finding rare Sprite variants, but water damages you.” The Cursed art shows a translucent, ghostly look with glowing eyes. Gold returns November 12 with bonus XP from eliminations, but Epic has not said which Sprites get Gold.

Should You Plan Around Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr.?

Shield-based abilities matter most to players who heal often mid-fight. Until the cooldown and splash values are visible in-game, treat it as a support Sprite worth leveling rather than one to build a loadout around. Mastering it counts toward the 40 Sprites needed for the Navigator’s Nosedive Umbrella on the Sprite Mastery track under the Treasure tab, where a new page unlocks every week and the Sprite Mastery Strongbox Back Bling upgrades as you progress.

Until it is live, be careful with early claims. Anything you read about where Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. spawns, what its odds are or exactly how big its Chug Splash is comes from guesswork, not from Epic or the live directory. Once it arrives, the Sprites screen will show it in numbered order with the rest of the season’s Sprites, and its Sprite Stamp will record how you got it; View Info explains each Stamp.

Track Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. on the Checklist

The free Sprite Checklist lists Normal, Fortune and Cursed Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. as separate rows, each with Collection and Mastery boxes. Rows that have not released show as Soon, so the line is ready to tick the moment each form arrives.
